Expert fly fisherman to offer rod, casting advice

The Plateau Fly Fishing Club will host a free casting clinic with the senior guide for Davidson River Outfitters at 7 p.m. Monday, July 11, in Cashiers.

Walker Parrott, general manager for Davidson River Outfitters, has been a guide in WNC for 12 years and is a top finisher of regional and national fly fishing competitions including the Masters Fly Fishing Championship.

The clinic will feature casting techniques for floating and sinking lines and cover characteristics of full flex, mid-flex and fast action rods. The clinic will offer all flyfishers an opportunity to determine the best rod for specific streams and species. Anyone is welcome to bring a rod for Parrott to analyze.

Held at the pond behind the Albert Carlton-Cashiers library. 828.885.7130.
